About this property
Amazing Log Cabin on the Water!
A short drive from Birmingham, you will feel like you’re a world away as you meander along a quiet road with picturesque views of the countryside. You’ll be welcomed inside this beautiful rustic Adirondack style log cabin by the aroma of knotty pine into a huge kitchen and dining room where you can enjoy a family breakfast next to a real wood fireplace with wide views of the lake.
Take a moment to catch your breath before stepping into the Great Room. Here you can read a book while watching the boats go by on the comfortable leather sofa, enjoy a glass of wine by the floor to ceiling rock fireplace, watch TV with the whole family, or just sit and enjoy the details of this exquisitely decorated room with pine wood beams stretched across the soaring ceilings.
You’ll be drawn up to the loft where you will find an open area with bonus twin beds with views of the Great Room and Smith Lake. Just off the Great Room, a hand-crafted King Bed with a mural of the Lake and beautiful armoire make up the master suite. The master bath features a claw foot tub and an incredible custom stone and slate shower large enough for two.
Wake up to awesome views of the lake from the second King suite with adjoining bathroom. The 3rd ground floor bedroom features a King bed and 3rd bath. The 2nd floor offers a bedroom with a full size bed and sleeping loft with twin beds. With all the beauty inside, you tend to forget the main reason you came here but eventually you will find yourself on the back covered porch looking out over a large deck with table for outdoor dinning and outdoor wood burning fireplace. The amazingly clear and deep waters of the main body of Rock Creek.
A large fenced in yard allows Mom and Dad the opportunity relax on the porch swing and watch the kids and puppies play. When you’re ready to go down to the lake, a gentle walk leads you to the boat dock with swim pier and double jet-ski lifts. You’ll definitely want to take advantage of the large stainless gas grill enjoy your meal in the lakeside gazebo with picnic table and double glider. The house also has a state or the art security system with external cameras. With all these extraordinary amenities and accommodations for up to 10 people, you’ll want to come every season to Cody’s Cabin.

We had a wonderful time and this property accommodating my group great. It was also nice to be able to bring our two dogs and there was a fence to keep them secure.

So happy you and your puppies enjoyed the cabin. Hope to see you again.❤️🐾
Cozy cabin with great living and dining areas, clean and updated kitchen and baths and comfortable beds. We had small dogs with us and being able to bring them was great! We were just there for 3 nights for a family event in the area so we did not take much more than coffee. If you are planning on cooking I would suggest getting groceries before heading to the cabin. Not much available nearby although there was the usual Dollar General. We did call in and pick up food from Kat Daddy’s BBQ and it was great, especially the ribs! Great stay all around.
We had an amazing time! Had some trouble trying to book, but the host reached out and helped us work through it. Great location and plenty of room for all 10 of us. Very responsive and accommodating.

Cabin was as described. Two couples with 6 kids (ages 3-11) cabin easily accommodated. Loved the fenced yard which worked great for the little kids and the two dogs.We also really enjoyed the dock for swimming and playing in the water. The ice machine was great to have!We would definitely book again.

So happy you enjoyed your stay. I would love to have you stay again.
We brought our fur baby and parents to help us find our forever home on the lake and we did! Larry was so sweet and accommodating to us as we had to extend our stay for inspections. One of the best host we’ve dealt with! Thank you so much.

Things are so much better when you can travel with your fur babies. Thanks for your review.
Cody's Cabin was more than spacious enough for a family of five, very nicely decorated, and in a great location on beautiful Smith Lake. We'd love to stay there again!
Quiet and rustic and loved that we could bring our dogs!!
We really enjoyed our stay here and the fact that we were allowed to being our two dogs, we had a wonderful time. The house is very rustic and clean and had lots of supplies. We would definitely stay here again!!

About the host

I live in New Orleans. Cody's Cabin is a much loved family home and not an investment rental property. The cabin is decorated in my personal taste and not trendy rental furniture, so it will not be for everyone.
